Occasionally it doesn’t play. ### 5/5 — Great music on weekends *2022-07-24, version 4.5.32* Like the music ### 5/5 — Great station with great content! *2022-04-14, version 4.5.32* Seattle-area, KBCS 91.3 FM is already an amazing (and personal favorite) indie radio station, but the app is equally awesome. Allows me to listen to my favorite shows like Thom Hartmann, and eclectic music mixes whenever and wherever I am. Well done, Devs! ### 5/5 — Fun and useful *2022-01-02, version 4.4.68* KBCS Radio in the car is great, but everywhere is better:) ### 5/5 — Love, love, LOVE it *2021-11-30, version 4.5.27* Great station, great app! Yippeeee! ### 5/5 — I 💖 KBCS *2021-11-13, version 4.5.27* I live in the Seattle area, and I consistently enjoy KBCS most of all the local public (or any other) stations. ### 5/5 — KBCS equals awesome-o 5000. *2021-11-06, version 4.5.27* Best $.00 I ever spent! ### 5/5 — Love me the KBCS APP *2021-03-21, version 4.4.68* Not a complaint nor a glitch to report! My only request is they - creators of the app - keep going!! ### 5/5 — Best radio station ever *2020-01-23, version 4.4.9* I'm grateful to be able to listen to y'all when I'm away from home. Much needed continuity in my life. ### 4/5 — Great Country & Bluegrass Selections *2019-11-16, version 4.4.9* This station offers a great selection of vintage and current country and bluegrass music. I also enjoy the more offbeat shows such as Hawaiian songs with a bit of culture on the side. Alternate political views are also welcome. ### 5/5 — Great station! *2019-10-09, version 4.4.9* Take a listen! ### 5/5 — Great Eclectic Music Mix *2019-09-15, version 4.4.9* We use the app to listen to KBCS at home and when we travel. We love the varied music programming, and if I miss a favorite show I can go back and listen on my own time. The world needs more radio like KBCS. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2019-08-28, version 4.4.9* What a great change for me. Love the variety of music! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work on my iPhone 8 *2020-09-08, version 4.4.31* It will not play the livestream at all. I can play shows from the on demand list, but it usually suddenly cuts out and stops playing after a few songs. Frustrating, because in On Demand I restart, but can’t fast forward to where I was. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but didn’t fix. I note also that KBCS seems to be the ONE station that will not play on Tunein. Please fix or advise on these issues. ### 1/5 — App Keeps Dropping *2019-11-23, version 4.4.9* I have an iPhone SE and this app stops every time my WiFi slows a bit. I have to repeatedly pick up the phone when music stops, wait for the app to reload, then press play. Love the station and Mr Kertzer! ### 1/5 — App crash *2019-11-20, version 4.4.9* App crashes all the time 5-6 times, sometimes more, within an hour. Constantly have to restart it. Other than that, the radio station is great! ### 1/5 — Good when it worked *2017-05-30, version 3.8.11* I listen to a few shows off this app. I rely on it because I can not get the shows live. Unfortunately even though they have the shows I like stored the app will not play them. It has been that way for the last few weeks, and I am missing out in the programming I rely on to stay up to date on current events. If they fix the app I will give 5 stars, but as of now with these issues I am increasingly frustrated with it. ### 1/5 — Meh *2017-05-12* I wish the original podcast archive was still available ### 2/5 — Won’t play livestream! *2023-03-09, version 4.5.76* Clicking on the “play” button, just immediately defaults back to pause. ### 2/5 — Programming not updated correctly *2021-11-14, version 4.5.27* Decent station but it seems like they rarely update the available streams in a correct and timely manner. ### 2/5 — Argh!! *2018-02-20, version 3.8.44* It used to be your app would just quit a few times while I was listening. Now it won’t play at all. What happened? ### 3/5 — Great station, often frustrating app *2022-09-10, version 4.5.32* I love KBCS and have been a supporter for years. But the app is often frustrating. It would be nice if it were possible to rewind or fast forward a stream, but I understand why that might not be possible due to copyright licensing restrictions. But it’s really exasperating that it’s not even possible to reliably pause a stream. When I pause for more than a minutes or two, I’m taken back to the start of the program when I resume. I suspect that the app forgets its place if iOS swaps it out of RAM. Developers, please fix this! I really want to like this app as much as I love the station. ### 3/5 — Station is great - app crashes *2020-01-18, version 4.4.31* I love listening to this station however, it frequently crashes and it takes a long time to load. I am comparing it to other station apps I use on my iPhone. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — App is wonderful *2025-02-21, version 6.2.26* Hello, I’ve been listening on my app to a few programs like Democracy Now, The Tom Hartman show & Road songs. I’ve enjoyed it immensely, never had an issue & it’s always available. I’m totally stoked to have it. ### 5/5 — No Network? *2024-08-02, version 4.6.33* I never update apps & now remember why: after updating, on opening this app, a flag appeared: ‘you have no network.’ If this happens to you, don’t worry! Dump the app and reinstall. (At the App Store, search for ‘KBCS’ without the 91.3) “On Demand”is great. If I miss a favorite program, I can replay it an hour later. Clear reception, creative programs, reliable news programming. LOVE you, KBCS! ### 5/5 — Great station, sweet app *2024-06-25, version 4.6.33* Thanks for being there KBCS! -Loyal supporter ### 5/5 — KBCS App *2024-05-20, version 4.6.33* Great selection of music! Music for everyone at some point in the week - except classical. Highly recommend ### 5/5 — I can listen to the radio on my phone! *2024-05-11, version 4.6.33* This app works great and allows me to keep up with all my favorite KBCS shows even if I don’t have an old-fashioned radio handy. ### 5/5 — Best Radio Station on the Planet *2024-01-25, version 4.6.9* Great selection of music and news. Food for the mind and the soul. ### 5/5 — Nice improvements *2023-09-15, version 4.6.9* Easy to use. Definitely appreciate the stability improvements ! ### 5/5 — Very useful *2023-07-11, version 4.6.9* Very useful for listening to KBCS shows from wherever you are! ### 5/5 — Great Way To Listen *2023-02-13, version 4.5.71* The KBCS app offers all of the station’s programming, both live and from their archives! Thanks! ### 5/5 — Love it *2022-09-02, version 4.5.32* I like the app because i can listen while surfing the web. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
